Summary

I'm a recent History Graduate from Kings College London.

I am friendly, presentable, numerate, reliable, motivated, and hardworking. I have common sense and get on with people. I enjoy and work well as part of a team, but am also comfortable under my own initiative.

I bring a strong work ethic, and am passionate about doing the best job I can. I enjoy learning and would relish the opportunity to build on my hands on experience gained to date, in studies, volunteering and from numerous hospitality roles

  • I volunteered as a mentor to an 11-year-old boy. This was a great experience allowing me as a recipient of mentoring to be able to pay something back

  • This taught me as much as I taught him. I learnt how to work around difficult situations and think outside the box, but also how to learn in new ways
  • I worked in a team with 10 other mentors and a project leader.
